  • I don’t really know what I’m talking about tbh, but my understanding is the more unique you make yourself, the easier you are to identify. For example, as soon as you use an ad blocker, your browser fingerprint becomes more unique because your average person doesn’t use an ad blocker. Even fewer people use Tor. So if someone knows you are using Tor, then they know you are 1 of maybe 100,000 people instead of millions (idk if those numbers are accurate, but you get the point).

    That being said, Tor does do a pretty good job of making you blend into all the other Tor users.

    But what I was talking about initially was mostly your ISP identifying your Tor traffic. So you use a VPN, but again you are now more unique than someone not using a VPN, even if your traffic is more encrypted.





  • I spent a lot of time early in my career working on some UI component libraries that I ultimately deemed a failure. However, I learned a lot from that. I’ve found that as I’ve settled into a more senior dev role, it’s become harder for me to experiment.

    What I’m trying to say is that best case, you come up with something cool, and worst case, you learn from your mistakes and apply what you learned to the next project!
